Gold Coast Clubhouse is a supportive community of people living with a mental illness who come together to connect, participate, learn, earn, & socialise together.

At the Gold Coast Clubhouse members and Clubhouse staff work side-by-side to carry out the day-to-day operations of running the Clubhouse. Focusing on strengths, potential, and possibility, membership is voluntary and members are supported to participate in the work-ordered-day, build their skills and capacity and contribute to the life and flair of the Clubhouse community. Members and staff work together to develop the Clubhouse program of activities which includes preparing, cooking and enjoying a nutritious lunch daily.

Members are encouraged and supported to participate in a range of tasks and activities to learn like skills, build confidence, capability and work skills, form friendships, and access opportunities for employment and sustainable housing.

The Gold Coast Clubhouse includes members in every aspect of its day-to-day happenings. Clubhouse is designed to be understaffed to highlight the importance and necessity of member involvement in the successful running of the Clubhouse program.

Our approach to support includes contemporary recovery-oriented, trauma informed and person-led practices.
